<p>
        Files can be attached to an e-mail using the <code class="code">createAttachment()</code> method. The default behaviour
        of <code class="code">Zend_Mail</code> is to assume the attachment is a binary object (application/octet-stream),
        should be transferred with base64 encoding, and is handled as an attachment. These assumptions can be
        overridden by passing more parameters to <code class="code">createAttachment()</code>:
    </p>
<div class="example">
<a name="zend.mail.attachments.example-1"></a><p class="title"><b>Example 27.8. E-Mail Messages with Attachments</b></p>
<div class="example-contents"><pre class="programlisting">&lt;?php
require_once 'Zend/Mail.php';
$mail = new Zend_Mail();
// build message...
$mail-&gt;createAttachment($someBinaryString);
$mail-&gt;createAttachment($myImage, 'image/gif', Zend_Mime::DISPOSITION_INLINE, Zend_Mime::ENCODING_8BIT);
        </pre></div>
</div>
<br class="example-break"><p>
        If you want more control over the MIME part generated for this attachment you can use the return value
        of <code class="code">createAttachment()</code> to modify its attributes. The <code class="code">createAttachment()</code> method
        returns a <code class="code">Zend_Mime_Part</code> object:
    </p>
<pre class="programlisting">&lt;?php
require_once 'Zend/Mail.php';
$mail = new Zend_Mail();

$at = $mail-&gt;createAttachment($myImage);
$at-&gt;type        = 'image/gif';
$at-&gt;disposition = Zend_Mime::DISPOSITION_INLINE;
$at-&gt;encoding    = Zend_Mime::ENCODING_8BIT;
$at-&gt;filename    = 'test.gif';

$mail-&gt;send();
    </pre>
<p>
        An alternative is to create an instance of <code class="code">Zend_Mime_Part</code> and add it with <code class="code">addAttachment()</code>:
    </p>
<pre class="programlisting">&lt;?php
require_once 'Zend/Mail.php';
$mail = new Zend_Mail();

$at = new Zend_Mime_Part($myImage);
$at-&gt;type        = 'image/gif';
$at-&gt;disposition = Zend_Mime::DISPOSITION_INLINE;
$at-&gt;encoding    = Zend_Mime::ENCODING_8BIT;
$at-&gt;filename    = 'test.gif';

$mail-&gt;addAttachment($at);
